Finally
Poetry By Anthony James
I look down on myself
my arms, between the wrist and elbow
I see an open landscape
of sorrow and self-pity
and you know what?
my sorrow and pity are deserved
I don't usually feel this way
but today I look down on myself
and I have to cry today
I have to come to see
that I am me,
all I got-
I have to put down my sword
for just a bit
I need to turn my beat around
to see my wrist
and I am not good to myself
and I am not good to me
but there is a truth
coming from some far away place
it shows me that no one cares about me
because the only man who can, does not
me.
and when I begin to love myself
that day... may it come-
to finally see-
I will weep of truth
that I will then,
always be
the only one of the flesh
to ever love me-
myself-
but even then, with all my own love
I will not still know the true meaning of love-
for the One who possesses such a love
I have tried to kill, also-
but He is alive too-
somehow, we both made it-
me and Jesus.
Finally.
